Lately

Monday, August 11th, 2008

I’ve been trying to decide on a new theme for the blog (I just don’t have time to do one myself), so I’ve been trying several different ones out for the last couple of weeks.

Unfortunately, I forgot to add the Sitemeter code to the footer, so I have no idea who’s been visiting. Please take a moment to say hello in the comments section. Sometimes, I wonder if anyone is really reading us.

Also, we spent all last weekend harvesting and canning & dehydrating the corn and tomatoes from the garden. We have quite a few eggplant to deal with yet and more tomatoes are coming, so next weekend will probably be a food processing couple of days too.

Here are a couple of pictures of some of the tomatoes we pulled out of the overgrown rainforest that is our garden:

Help veg gardeners advice needed!!

Sunday, July 6th, 2008

I mentioned in a previous post that we had put in a vegetable garden (here and on my personal blog, here).

Heirloom tomato junge

We’ve never grown heirloom tomatoes before, so we didn’t really know what to expect. We’ve had other tomato plants before, so we figured it would be about the same….

I think we’ve misjudged this.

Here are a few photos of the heirloom tomato jungle currently growing in our yard:
